Exciting international opportunities as part of Icon’s Asian and New Zealand expansions

The Middleton Scholarship

Launched on World Cancer Day (4 February) in 2018, the Middleton Scholarship is an annual prize personally funded by Icon Group CEO, Mark Middleton, and his family. The scholarship is focused on empowering continued professional development, nurturing talent and providing meaningful opportunities for people across Icon Group.

The scholarship is open to all Icon Group employees, with one winner chosen each calendar year. The successful scholar’s program varies from year to year and continues to evolve. The winner from 2019 represented Icon at The Economist War on Cancer Asia Summit in Singapore, completed a one week secondment to the UICC’s head office in Geneva, Switzerland and undertook a UICC online master course of their choosing.

Iconic Women

At Icon Group, we’re fortunate to have a huge number of talented women working across the Group in many roles and at different stages of their careers. Through our Iconic Women program, we create opportunities for our strong female workforce to connect and develop both professionally and personally.

Icon Group is a proud partner of Business Chicks, offering opportunities for employees to be inspired by the speakers at their events and bolstered by their networking evenings. Over the last two years, four Icon Group delegates have attended the Business Chicks Movers and Breakers conference as part of a professional development opportunity. This was open to all female employees across Icon’s global network, offering three days of connection, learning and self-reflection for the women awarded.

These activities are also accompanied by online seminars in areas of interest nominated by our iconic women. This has included a Financial Wellbeing workshop with Commonwealth Bank, a mindfulness and wellbeing session with Chelsea Pottenger and a hosted Q&A with Princess Dina of Jordan who is the current President of the Union for International Cancer Control.

Iconic Women Podcast

In 2019, Icon Group launched our ‘Iconic Women by Icon Group’ podcast. This series features inspirational interviews with women from across Icon Group, as well as business partners, supporters and advocates. Listen to the Iconic Women podcast.

Founders Forum

Founders Forum is a program dedicated to empowering the next generation of Iconic leaders and embedding the legacy of the Group’s Iconic founders. The program identifies and fosters leadership talent within Icon Group, supporting participants to realise their potential and make the transition from ‘manager’ to ‘leader’. The program highlights the importance of building and maintaining a strong organisational culture that acknowledges present strengths while fostering the spirit of entrepreneurialism necessary to make the most of future opportunities. This approach equips our Founders Forum participants to protect Icon’s cultural legacy while making a significant impact on the Group, healthcare and even humanity.

Founders Forum is be led by Icon Group Founder and Chairman, Stuart Giles.

Be Iconic - Rewards and Recognition

Delivering the best care possible is only possible through a deep commitment to our values. Through our rewards and recognition program, every day we celebrate iconic team members living our values.

Tangible rewards and a community approach to recognition defines the success of the program. At its heart are our site Recognition Boards, which provide a visible space to celebrate effort, hard work and success. Each month, the boards host hundreds of messages of thanks and praise between colleagues and across teams throughout Icon’s international network.

Icon’s reward program culminates in an Annual Awards Gala event, with finalists invited to Brisbane, Australia, where their achievements are celebrated by their colleagues and wider leadership team.

The result is an iconic team who feel supported and are committed to living our values, every day.
